im calling camp1320 tomorrow to order some acl bearings...anyone know off hand what color i need? i know my rod bearings are all green but my mains are so old i cant see the color its warn off. Any help?

 

Same here; i was lookin into buyin new main bearings and I had no clue which color to buy. A motor-building friend told me it depends and there's no way to really tell until you pull the bearings. Anyone have an easier way?

 

I thought you used the stampings on the rods, crank, and block....

 

you can but why not just ask someone who has already changed them?

 

each crank is different. It wouldn't matter.

You need to pull the crank, and look at the stamps on it. Just wipe away the oil, don't use any chemicals.

You'll be able to see it, and then you can call up camp and order what you need.

exactly, every one is different so you cant just go by what someone elses was..peace

 

well my block reads..from the oil pump side to the flywheel. 2,3,2,3,4...so is this yellow,green,yellow, green, brown? am i reading my helms right?

 

ok,now you need the numbers off the crank just like the helms says.the numbers on the block tell you only half the story.

Exactly...get both sets look at your helms and you'll see what you need

 

o ok..well my crank is being balanced and micropolished right now. Do they resurface cranks during the process? If they do, does that mean im gonna have to get different sizes than marked on my block&crank? thanks guys

the marks will still be there. The micropolishing only applies to the journals.
